Fun fact: "Kanakanaka" is a Hawaiian word basically meaning "Man" or person. "Tu rye ae" means "hold your ground" This was a hoisting shanty. Meaning sailors were pulling a line in unison. In order to do that, you need to keep your feet firmly planted, don't move around because you'll bump into people.
This film just got to Israel the same weekend with Ford vs Ferrari and The Irishman. And there's also Midway and other big blockbusters. I'm so glad I've decided to watch a film about a sea chanty group from Cornwall. I went out with a smirking smile on my face.
Thank you, Sue for posting these wonderful videos. Found them by accident 2 years ago, and still listen Hope all the guys are doing well, (so sorry to hear about the death of one member at the show😪 Hope the rest are all still singing! I live in California, U. S. A., near a fishing port, and wish I could say the fishermen here we're as delightfully talented as your guys are! Best wishes to you and your lovely Port Issac. 🙏
If you like bagpipes and don't mind my poor singing, this could be the video for you : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vHdm7xw3rCA.html
I swear I remember this song from my child hood (around 2002-2009) and for the life of me I can’t remember where I heard it from but my mind is on the singing kettle but I can’t find their version of it if they have one and it’s killing me
